Makaha Surfside
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy indicators such as a percentage, "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied," but found none. The remarks only mention that some units are suitable for owner-occupants or are tenant-occupied, which does not establish the building's owner-occupancy rate.
The public remarks directly confirm a five-elevator building. This is repeated across listings, so confidence is very high.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

This feature is supported by strong building-level MLS data, with 14/20 current listings including OTCOEX. While most public remarks do not explicitly say "common area electricity," the recurring maintenance-fee language and amenity-heavy building support the inclusion of common-area power at the building level.

Hot water inclusion is not supported here. Only 1/20 current MLS listings shows HOTWAT, while multiple listings explicitly mention tankless, new, or on-demand water heaters, which strongly suggests the building does not provide hot water through the maintenance fee.

No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is strongly supported across the building. 17/20 current MLS listings include SEWER, and several public remarks explicitly say the fees include "water, sewer" or "water, sewer, and trash collection."
Water inclusion has the strongest support of all four features. 18/20 current MLS listings include WATER, and numerous remarks directly confirm that the maintenance fee includes water, often alongside sewer and trash.
BBQ/grilling facilities are overwhelmingly confirmed. Dozens of current remarks mention "BBQ area," "BBQ pavilion," "barbecue area," or similar, matching the already high MLS confidence of 19/20 listings. Evidence is repeated across many listings and agents, making this a very strong shared amenity.

This feature is strongly confirmed. Multiple listings mention an "exercise room," "fitness room," "fitness center," "workout room," or "gym," and the historical MLS data already showed 16/20 listings with EXEROO. The wording is consistent across many agents, so this appears to be a real shared amenity rather than a copy-paste error.
No analysis available
There is clear direct evidence for a shared meeting room/community room amenity. At least a few current remarks explicitly say "meeting room" alongside other common-area amenities, supporting that this feature exists at the building.
Multiple listings (10+ from different agents) explicitly mention unit lanais/balconies and building BBQ/poolside pavilions, e.g., 'one of the larger lanais in the complex,' 'watch the sunset from your lanai,' and 'BBQ pavilion perfect for gatherings.' Other units reference a 'Juliet balcony' and 'oceanfront pavilion with BBQ and picnic areas,' indicating consistent availability of patio/deck-type outdoor spaces. Even though only a minority of MLS checkboxes flag PATDEC/COVPAT, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that patio/deck amenities exist in this building.
The building appears to offer a shared walking/jogging path. Several current remarks explicitly describe "walking/jogging path," "walking paths leading to" amenities, and a "paved walking path that winds throughout the property," which aligns with the historical MLS evidence. This is strong enough to confirm the feature for buyers searching for a path/jogging amenity.

Moderate evidence: several listings mention a 'meeting room', 'rec room', 'recreation room' or 'recreation area' (explicit phrases found in a number of public remarks), while MLS shows this amenity in 4/20 listings. The mentions are explicit but not ubiquitous, so inclusion is warranted with moderate confidence.
Moderately strong evidence: although CURRENT MLS checkbox count for RECROO is lower (2/20), many public remarks describe a 'meeting room', 'rec room', or 'recreation room with gym equipment', indicating the building offers at least one shared recreation/meeting space that agents mention across listings.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sauna access is very strongly confirmed across many listings. Current remarks repeatedly mention "sauna," including multiple units citing "2 saunas," "male/female saunas," and "sauna room," making this a high-confidence shared amenity.
Several listings describe building-level storage features, including a unit with a 'covered parking stall & storage locker,' another with 'assigned parking with storage,' and remarks noting 'storage closets' and 'storage space for your surfboard' as part of the common amenities. This appears in at least 4 different listings from different agents, suggesting dedicated storage facilities are a consistent, shared amenity rather than a one-off unit feature. Despite sparse MLS checkbox use, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that Makaha Surfside offers resident storage/locker options.
The remarks directly reference surfboard storage, including exact wording about storage space for a surfboard. This is clear evidence that the building offers surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
No current listing remarks explicitly mention a trash chute, despite the MLS checkbox appearing in some records. Because the historical confidence was low and the remarks are silent across many listings, the most likely explanation is inconsistent or copied MLS data rather than a verified building feature. This is the weakest feature in the set and should be treated cautiously.

Pool is strongly confirmed for Makaha Surfside. Dozens of listings mention shared pool amenities, most commonly "two pools," "two swimming pools," or "multiple pools on property," often alongside other resort-style features. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be a stable building amenity rather than copy-paste error.
No remarks (0/20) explicitly state the pools are heated; listings repeatedly call them 'two pools', 'sparkling pools', or 'salt water pools' but never 'heated' or 'heated pool'. While 3/20 MLS amenity checkboxes list HEAPOO, the absence of any 'heated' language in detailed remarks across the dataset strongly indicates the pools are not heated; the few MLS flags appear to be inconsistent agent checkbox usage.
The public remarks directly identify the pools as salt water pools, leaving no ambiguity. Multiple listings repeat this wording, making the feature very well supported.
No analysis available
There is overwhelming evidence that Makaha Surfside has shared/community laundry facilities. Current remarks mention this across many listings, often in amenity lists alongside pools, security, and BBQ areas, which suggests it is a standard building feature rather than a one-off agent error. The language is consistent across multiple listings and agents, so this appears to be well-established and not just copy-paste noise.
I looked for language indicating paid laundry such as coin laundry, coin-op machines, card-operated washers, or a laundry fee. The listings mention laundry facilities and laundry rooms, but nothing suggests the laundry requires payment.
I searched for explicit references like 'laundry on each floor,' 'every floor,' or similar floor-specific wording and found none. The remarks only mention on-site laundry, laundry facilities, or laundry rooms, which do not confirm this feature.
Parking is clearly a building-wide feature. Current public remarks mention it in dozens of listings with phrases like "2 open parking stalls," "covered parking," "parking garage," "assigned parking," and "dedicated parking stall." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and unit types, so this appears strongly supported rather than copy-paste noise.
Parking assignment is strongly supported across the listing history for Makaha Surfside. Many remarks explicitly mention "assigned parking," "reserved parking," "deeded parking stall," "designated parking stall," and "covered parking," with multiple listings also noting specific stall locations or included storage. The evidence is broad and consistent across different agents, so this does not appear to be a copy-paste anomaly.
Covered parking is well supported for Makaha Surfside across both historical MLS data and current remarks. Multiple listings explicitly describe 'covered parking stall,' 'covered assigned parking,' 'deeded covered parking space,' and even 'parking garage,' showing consistent evidence from many agents rather than a single copied remark.
The remarks repeatedly use deeded-parking wording rather than merely assigned or included parking. There is strong evidence that at least some units in this building have deeded parking. This supports a true value.
No analysis available
I looked for language about parking fees, monthly parking charges, parking rentals, or other extra parking costs. The listings mention assigned, covered, and deeded stalls, but no separate monthly parking fee was found. Because no fee amount appears, this is unknown.
Guest parking appears to be available at the building. Several listings explicitly reference "guest parking," "ample guest parking available," "lots of guest parking," and "22 guest stalls," which is stronger than a checkbox-only signal. The evidence is broad and consistent across remarks.
Many listings describe Makaha Surfside as a “secured, gated” property with “24/7 gated security” and specifically note that the “parking entry has security guard” and that there is a “secure parking garage.” This repeated emphasis on gated/guarded access supports that the parking facilities have secured entry, even though only a subset of MLS checkboxes explicitly flag it.

I searched for parking waitlist language such as joining a list, waiting for a stall, or parking availability queues. The remarks instead describe assigned, guest, covered, and deeded stalls, but nothing about a waitlist system. With no evidence, this is treated as false/absent.
No analysis available
I searched for card/fob access terms such as keycard entry, fob access, or card reader and found none. The remarks mention secured entry, gated access, and keyed entry, but that is not the same as a card-based security system.
Security guard service is strongly supported for Makaha Surfside. Dozens of current listings explicitly mention "24-hour security," "24/7 gated security," "security patrol," "security guard," or "secured building/community," across many different agents and unit types, which makes this appear to be a consistent building-level amenity rather than copy-paste noise. There is no meaningful contradictory evidence in the remarks, so the feature should remain true.
The listings repeatedly and clearly refer to security patrol service, including 24-hour patrol wording. This is strong direct evidence that the building has patrol-based security.

There is strong building-level evidence that Makaha Surfside has units with window air conditioning. Multiple listings explicitly mention it across different agents and time periods, including phrases like 'window AC unit,' 'new AC window unit,' and 'brand new window AC,' which suggests this is a real feature rather than a copy-paste error.
Concrete construction is strongly supported at the building level. Current MLS records show 19 of 20 listings with CONCRE in construction materials, and the public remarks do not contradict this pattern. One remark even refers to "Concrete walls in the living spaces," reinforcing that the building is concrete-built rather than showing any sign of a recent change.
No analysis available
Limited and inconsistent MLS evidence: only 4 of 20 current MLS records list 'HOLTIL' and none of the numerous public remarks mention hollow tile. With no supporting descriptions in agent remarks and low historical confidence, hollow-tile construction is not supported by the public remarks and appears unlikely, though MLS checkbox entries are not uniformly cleared.
Moderate evidence: 6 of 20 MLS records include MASSTU and multiple listings describe concrete/cinder-block walls that have been drywalled/surfaced. While remarks do not explicitly say 'stucco', the pattern of masonry/concrete construction with finished exteriors supports including masonry/stucco at an implied confidence level.
No analysis available
There is some MLS support for a slab foundation, with 6 of 20 current listings marked SLAB. However, the remarks reviewed do not explicitly mention a concrete slab or solid slab foundation, so this remains moderate-confidence evidence rather than a fully confirmed building feature.

MLS data continues to show ABOGRO in a meaningful subset of listings (7/20), and the historical record was already high confidence for this building. The remarks repeatedly discuss ground-floor and upper-floor units, elevator access, and same-level parking, which is consistent with above-ground construction rather than any contrary evidence.
Weak evidence: only 2 of 20 MLS construction_materials include BRICK and no public remarks reference brick or brick-and-mortar construction. Given the lack of corroborating remarks, it's unlikely the building is primarily brick construction.
No analysis available
I searched for short-term rental signals such as STR permitted, NUC, TVU, legal vacation rental, hotel rental program, or minimum-stay rules. The listings do not explicitly authorize STR, and several remarks only describe general owner or investment use. Based on the public remarks alone, short-term rentals are not established here.
I looked for hotel rental pool language such as hotel-managed operations, branded rental pools, or participation in a resort program. Nothing in the remarks suggests a hotel pool exists for this building. Because STR is not established, this must also be false.
I searched for wording like mandatory participation, required rental program, cannot opt out, or other compulsory pool language. The remarks contain no evidence of any hotel or rental pool, much less a mandatory one. Since STR is not established, this is false as well.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for ground lease, leasehold, lease expires, renewal, and expiration-year language, but found no specific lease-end year. The remarks only mention fee simple, which does not provide a lease expiry date. Since no year is given, this remains unknown.
Public remarks directly confirm VA financing is accepted at this building. Multiple listings reference VA eligibility or VA loan use, which is strong evidence. This is high-confidence and consistent across remarks.
I looked for HOA insurance wording indicating walls-in or comprehensive building coverage, but the remarks do not mention it. References to maintenance fees, security, and amenities do not establish full insurance coverage.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for wording like FLSE passed, fire/life safety evaluation passed, fire safety certified, and passed fire inspection, but found nothing explicit. The listings mention security and gated access, but that is not evidence of a fire/life safety evaluation pass.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are strongly supported across this building. Dozens of current remarks explicitly describe ocean-facing units with phrases like 'ocean views,' 'unobstructed ocean views,' 'breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean,' and 'open views of the ocean,' and the mentions come from multiple listings/agents rather than a single source. This is consistent with the MLS view data showing 18 of 20 listings marked OCEAN, so the feature should be treated as reliably present.
Mountain views appear in a meaningful subset of listings, though far less consistently than ocean views. Several remarks explicitly call out 'Waianae mountain range,' 'mountain and sunset,' and 'Mauna Lahilahi,' indicating some units in the building do offer mountain views. This looks like a real building-level option rather than an isolated or purely copied MLS checkbox.

Coastline views are present but less consistently advertised than ocean or sunset views. A smaller set of remarks explicitly use phrases like "West Coastline," "coastal views," and "Leeward coast," which matches the moderate historical MLS support (4/20 current listings showing COASTL). The evidence is enough to include the feature, though confidence is lower than for ocean or sunset views.
Garden/landscaped views appear in a minority of listings, but they are present enough to support the feature. A few remarks mention "gorgeous landscaped grounds," "grassy back yard," and views of the "green area," suggesting some units look over garden-like common areas.

Limited but present evidence: a small number of remarks explicitly advertise 'sunrise views' or 'wake up each morning to stunning sunrise views' (quoted in at least one listing), suggesting a few units may have sunrise/eastern exposure. Evidence is limited to a handful of listings, so confidence is moderate.
Sunset views are well supported in the public remarks and MLS data. Listings repeatedly mention phrases such as "breathtaking sunset views," "watch the sunset," "front-row sunsets," and "unobscured sunset views," matching the strong historical signal (11/20 current MLS view descriptions show SUNSET). This appears consistently across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy/paste.
No analysis available
I searched for direct statements about viewing Friday night fireworks from the condo, lanai, or building. The remarks emphasize ocean, sunset, lagoon, and pool views, but do not mention fireworks views.

No analysis available
MLS checkbox data currently lists RESMAN on 8 of 20 listings, and multiple remarks explicitly state there is an on-site/resident manager (quotes found: 'resident manager's office on site', 'on-site manager', 'on site management'). Evidence is repeated across different listings and agents; while some copy/paste risk exists, the combination of checklist data and repeated remark confirmations supports including resident manager = true.
